The pelvis tilt
© Soumy Ana
The easiest way to learn this pelvis tilt for the first time is maybe to lie down on the ground. Put your hands under the small of your back and feel the curve formed by your spine on your lower back. Push your belly into the ground to reduce the gap. To correct the bad posture, drag your knees up so that the heels of your feet stand closer to your buttocks and lay flat on the ground. Now, push your hips up so that your hips cannot touch the ground anymore. Feel the superb release in your lower back.
Now that we have introduced the move, stand erect, your feet parallel to the ground. Bend your knees, then pull your belly up as if you wanted to hold a piece of paper with the central front line of your waist. You may check with the side of your hands pushed against the abdominal muscles. At the same time, squeeze the lower part of your buttocks. Feel very tall and pull your head up. Your chin is drawn in, but not too far in. Your shoulders are relaxed and pushed back. You should feel like somebody is pulling your head up with a string, and your spine is taking on a few inches in length. You should now experience a better posture.
Use these posture tips to stand more erect during the day as you walk or sit down. Many people realize that they have grown a few inches in height only by having a better posture after a few weeks of aerobics. As you go to your daily occupations, remember to walk as much as you can. Walking keeps the spine healthy and it will also help to improve circulation and reduce muscle fatigue. Stretch often, especially before going to bed and after a light warm up. Avoid bending over, instead squat as often as possible, and especially if you are picking objects from the ground like dumbbells or a mat. If you must twist to reach for objects, displace your whole body from the hips.
